Yep, it is that easy, if its compiled into your kernel (or you have the module). The MIMEdefang queue area on our mailserver is on a ram disk, it's setup like this:
/sbin/mke2fs /dev/ram0 /bin/mount /dev/ram0 /sendmail/mqueue/MIMEDefang The only suck thing is the default is 4mb... add this to the kernel line in your grub config to make it 100mb ramdisk_size=100000 But if you want more than one ramdisk, i think they all have to be 100mb... later!
